Suspension Agreements

    None
    In accordance with section 351.213 of the regulations, an 
interested party as defined by section 771(9) of the Act may request in 
writing that the Secretary conduct an administrative review. In recent 
revisions to its regulations, the Department has changed its 
requirements for requesting reviews for countervailing duty orders. 
Pursuant to 771(9) of the Act, an interested party must specify the 
individual producers or exporters covered by the order or suspension 
agreement for which they are requesting a review (Department of 
Commerce Regulations, 62 FR 27295, 27424 (May 19, 1997)). Therefore, 
for both antidumping and countervailing duty reviews, the interested 
party must specify for which individual producers or exporters covered 
by an antidumping finding or an antidumping or countervailing duty 
order it is requesting a review, and the requesting party must state 
why it desires the Secretary to review those particular producers or 
exporters. If the interested party intends for the Secretary to review 
sales of merchandise by an exporter (or a producer if that producer 
also exports merchandise from other suppliers) which were produced in 
more than one country of origin and each country of origin is subject 
to a separate order, then the interested party must state specifically, 
on an order-by-order basis, which exporter(s) the request is intended 
to cover.
    Seven copies of the request should be submitted to the Assistant 
Secretary for Import Administration, International Trade 
Administration, Room 1870, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street & 
Constitution Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20230. The Department also 
asks parties to serve a copy of their requests to the Office of 
Antidumping/Countervailing Enforcement, Attention: Sheila Forbes, in 
room 3065 of the main Commerce Building. Further, in accordance with 
section 351.303(f)(l)(i) of the regulations, a copy of each request 
must be served on every party on the Department's service list.
    The Department will publish in the Federal Register a notice of 
``Initiation of Administrative Review of Antidumping or Countervailing 
Duty Order, Finding, or Suspended Investigation'' for requests received 
by the last day of April 1998. If the Department does not receive, by 
the last day of April 1998, a request for review of entries covered by 
an order, finding,

[[Page 17986]]

or suspended investigation listed in this notice and for the period 
identified above, the Department will instruct the Customs Service to 
assess antidumping or countervailing duties on those entries at a rate 
equal to the cash deposit of (or bond for) estimated antidumping or 
countervailing duties required on those entries at the time of entry, 
or withdrawal from warehouse, for consumption and to continue to 
collect the cash deposit previously ordered.
    This notice is not required by statute but is published as a 
service to the international trading community.

    Dated: April 1, 1998.
Maria Harris Tildon,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary, Group II Import Administration.
